I loath the 2 WW period

[mrssandro]

I am feeling very negative today and my feel like my period is about to start. I am still a full week away from AF should arrive. I also feel like this month is a no go since I got the stomach flu the day that I had my temp spike. I know I am being irrational since I am 7 DPO but the negative feeling of it just not being our month is just sitting there.

The dreaded two week wait gets me every time. This month I am determined not to think feed into the phantom symptoms like last month.

Anybody with me?

I'm not there yet, but I'm fast approaching. I understand absolutely every word you wrote, and I too get discouraged as 2ww approaches.

It's tricky because you want to stay grounded and not get your hopes up, but then that morphs into "this will never happen, I'll never get pg, why is everyone else pg" well, for me it does

It's hard. I'm so so grateful for this board, and how basically judgment free it remains!

GL this cycle anyways!

This judgement free board totally helps me! I am normally really positive but it's just those last 7 days before AF or before I can test that I start getting crazy and over thinking every single thing. I wish there was a fast forward to tell me yes or no...

I'm in the 2ww wait too- DPO6. It sucks! This is cycle 5 for us and getting BFN's is getting harder. Thankfully I don't get phantom symptoms, so that helps, but the waiting is so so hard.

I should be getting AF today. I've felt nauseated all day, and I can't tell if it's bad cramps or PG. I guess I'll know in a few days!

Ughhhh the 2ww is driving me crazy! I am 10 DPO but I have been having cramps, nausea, and a little bit of spotting for the past 3 days and it is messing with my mind. I took a test this morning just out of curiosity but it was a BFN. I just want to know NOW damnit

What would stomach flu the day after ovulation have to do with your chances?

That said, the 2ww blows. I will be there soon and am enjoying the peace while I have it! Hang in there!

I don't know. Maybe I was just not 100% healthy and my body was recovering and all the sperm didn't make it to it's destination. I said I am being irrational!

I agree, the 2ww seriously sucks! I think I ovulated today, so my torturous 2 weeks starts now. Ugh.

And you are not irrational at all. I always think that everything in the world is impacting my TTC efforts and possibility of success.

I'm not even going to O until around the end of this week, and I'm already dreading the 2ww after that, haha. Before I O, I always tell myself I'm going to be more relaxed this time around and not starting counting down the days until I can POAS, but that never happens. Hopefully this month I'll stay relaxed.
